duke football news

Give up much better nil and playing in front of 100,000 people to come to Duke and play in front of 18,000 is not something I see but stranger things have happened.
So seeing that some kids on signing day are now pushing back their signing to a day like Friday to let NIL money play out. Wild wild West for sure. 😕
Apparently there are 5 Duke commits who haven't signed. Have there been any in the past let's say 5 years that decommitted from somewhere else and signed with Duke? That would be nice.
No QB's in this class at this point.

Of those I think 2 more sign today. The de Carl has a ceremony at 3.40 this afternoon. The dt Daly is a grey shirt so they won't be able to announce him but he is also having a ceremony this afternoon.
Wade will flip to Clemson
Bourdan said he wants to meet new staff before he signs but says he is still committed to Duke.
Menke to either Duke or Washington
We will start hitting the portal hard soon I think.

If we are losing 39 to graduation, why is our class only 20 people?
Why do I look at rosters like Penn State and Alabama and see well over 100 players listed?
Sorry to pile on, I just don't understand a lot about college football.

A bunch of those graduating kids are walk on/ no scholly kids. Think Rudy. You can have 85 schollies but as many walk ones as you want. They fill out the practice squads and play the other teams offense and defense in practice.
What is funny Washington was not very good the last few years. They have one or two good seasons and then suck for awhile during its existence.
So just watched the Diaz signing day interview. I am sure Conor will be putting out an article soon since he was one of the question guys but the thing that really caught my attn was staff is hired and announcements will start after bowl game

both the dt Daly from fla and Carl the de from nc have both signed but are both grey shirts so will not be announced. thats all the verbals now in house
7 guys going to be early entrees including the aussie punter. really happy that Reed de and Watson dt will get that extra semester with the strength and conditioning program.
we lost menke and wade today. i think wade was the big one to lose.

Diaz turned the 36th ranked class into 63rd in record time. After 68th last year, is that the worst 2 year stretch in duke history? Duke is #1 in the rankings of most stars lost in transfer portal, all of them going to rivals is a bonus. Next he'll get more unqualified coaches and transfers that sucked in ivy league.
Forget the 10+ wins Duke should have next year, I see Diaz and Nina's plan is working, the least interested fans in football will insist on doubling both their salaries if Duke makes a bowl next year. Now everyone can see why Duke HC Carl Franks was 0-22 then got 2 more years of 0 acc wins after that.

Does a grey shirt mean they won't enroll until 2nd semester next year? Does it mean they can't do strength and conditioning with Feeley until then? I assume it would open up 2 more scholarships but it would be great if they can start on their lifting with Feeley.
Mencke's flip surprised me.Flipped to Washington after tweeting his reaffirmation to Duke after Elmo left. $$$

From reading the transcript of Diaz's presser, it definitely looks like he consider this to be only the beginning of his recruiting year. He doesn't intend to start next season with the players who are so far there and committed.
Here is the story from yesterday.
It's ... something. If I get a chance in the next few days, I'll update with more info or do something additional.

It’s nice to see Vince Lombardi is alive and giving sage advice….

This could be huge. This young man has talent and talent likes to play with talent.
LET'S GO DUKE!
Per the composite he is the 5th highest rated recruit we have gotten since they started the service.
Also went 2-0 as the starting QB for Texas last year beating Baylor and K State. Very nice.
Now we need oline to protect him. I figure at least 2 ea OT and IOL.
